I’m in love with words. Words construct the world, we understand. The possibilities of language are endless, but far from all in the world have been given their own personal words. Designer, John Koenig, has dedicated a YouTube channel to fill the black holes in the language of sorrow. With incredibly beautiful and wistful videos, he assigns quite specific melancholy feelings their own invented words. It’s short videos about nothing more than to feel, reflect and find community in fragile, universal emotions. The channel Koenig has appropriately named The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, and I would dare say i’s a few minutes’ worth exploration. My three favorites: Sonder, Anemoia and Opia.
